Before my husband left for work he brought me a Jonquil from the flower bed. Look at that beautiful flower. It is the flower of March so it bloomed right on time. Its name, Jonquil, means "I desire a return of affection."
Lovers give this flower to express that sentiment to their loved ones. How much more does that apply to the One Who created the Jonquil for His pleasure and our delight? It reminded me that Jesus really loves us and that He wants our love in return.
Hebrews 12:2 says, "...Jesus...for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame..."
What was the joy that was set before Him? It was the joy of an eternal loving fellowship with us! He really loves us! He loves us and wants us to love Him. Nobody deserves our love like He does. Our Creator and our Savior!
If you know Him, rejoice in His love today! If you don't know him, today is always the day of salvation for those who believe on the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The end of this age is very near.
May God's Spirit make His love, His grace and His truth real to you.
